I also tossed this on my website, since it was kinda small (118mb) If you can't access bit torrents, and want to get the show, check out the featured section of <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.upstatetapers.org">http://www.upstatetapers.org</a><!-- m --> Make sure you right-click and save as, or use a download manager. Don't stream the show off the server. My hosting company also appears to have slowed considerably, so it may take up to a minute between when you click on the link, to when the save window pops up.

what a great appearence this turned out to be- I think they signed every last autograph as we were near the end of the line, and i was speechless when i got up there from being so excited.
So who took some good photos? i was right up in front, but of course my camera was at home :-(

Well I was right front and center for this little shindig, and everything worked really well until the signing line began...then it got mismanaged, but that is to be expected.
The band made my day though. As we were towards the end of the line, I decided I would try to get my jersey signed instead of the cd booklet, eventhough the security guard specifically told me not to give it the band...I thought I could at least try. So I had the jersey in my hand (the red mapleleaf one) and just said "Could I please get this signed instead." and without hesitation Gord said "sure, whats your name?" and I conversed with the band about how it was my birthday and we chatted about the Sabres and whatnot. It was a great moment for me. They also signed last nights setlist for my fiance and Gord dedicated the show to her on his little message on the list. Very cool.

It's a good thing I didn't walk up to a guy that looks like your avatar and say "nice job with <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thehiptracker.com">www.thehiptracker.com</a><!-- w -->. That would have been awkward.

I was at the FYE mini concert that Gord called a tea and crumpets set.I went for two reasons.The first is that I love the Hip,the most important was to have something signed for my good friend who needs a kidney transplant.the band and store managers were awesome,heres what I got....
Tragically HIP signed acoustic electric guitar..
signed by the Band at FYE on 3/10/07 specifically
for a friends(kidney transplant) benefit..
The guitar : Washburn/Lyon acoustic electric guitar
in near new condition(display model) with tags still
on - purchased the day of the event! w/retail value
$299.00 (unsigned)
The autographs : Starting with Gord Downie near the
neck (top right) ending with Johnny Fay who drew a
rare picture of his drum kit with the bands name in
the base drum.This is something he does for special
occasions only !!
I have the guitar posted at a few dif. sites and currently taking offers
